Keep Quiet

Other than reminding me of the Jane Doe cover, this is an album that David Pajo of Slint did. If the cover doesn't give it away, its him doing a bunch of Misfits tracks acoustically. It's tough to swallow anything that has an acoustic tag to it these days thanks large in part to the army of young, white, male dipshits with hair like Ryan Cabrera that think if they can butcher a Dashboard song in their bedroom they will start pulling chicks, but being that its Misfits songs and done by a dude who was in the band that made Spiderland...I'd say this is different.

To say these tracks are stripped down would be an understatment. It's got the quiet moments of Slint, but with a more, Nick-Drake-mixed-with-Pedro-the-Lion-recording-on-a-boombox feel to it. With Halloween right around the corner, it's worth checking out. You've never heard "Angelfuck" sung so tenderly.

ACOUSTIC MISFITS

All Hell Breaks Loose

Samhain greetings:

Nose Over Tail

A while back, I drew the crimson ghost in honor of the Misfits on the fin of this board. It didn't dawn on me until last summer that the board was also crimson in color. Said board was on loan to a friend until late spring, and when I got it back, I decided to properly tag her nose the results of which can be seen below.

Where Eagles Dare

Well, not really eagles but this ball of feathers could still be considered a bird of prey. Came home from a surf one morning and as I was going to put my board away I found this bad boy hanging out in the tree that sits right over my garage. He hung out for an hour or so and then just disappeared. Not as good as the time my wife was going to be late for work because there were turkeys in front of her car door, but still a pretty good encounter.
